What's good enough for Ference should be good enough for Phanuef. I'd of preferred a call, not sure how that's missed w/ 7 mins left down a goal.

Ference wasn't even initiating contact, just reacting to an incoming forechecker. Phanuef came from 15 feet and initiated contact w/ an elbow. He knew right away what he'd done, watch the reaction on that cro-magnon face of his, "mE bAd??".

CBC did show one replay, but it wasn't a closeup. I looked at it several times on the DVR and it was obviously an illegal hit to the head. Anyone who says it wasn't needs to explain how a man's nose gets cut and starts bleeding out of the blue. Shanny's wheel of justice is indeed unpredictable, but at least one game is warranted in this case, maybe more.

Guy gets hit, body, hits boards, head flings back, visor clips nose. Luke Schenn pretty much always has an open cut there. Happens all the time to lots of people.

PS. I haven't seen a replay yet so I have no idea what happened on the play, just stating that the nose can bleed without a hit to the head.

Maybe there isn't anything to discuss? Making accusations without proof is ridiculous. Wait until there's an actual video then discuss. Because what happens if it really is a clean hit? Will B's fans apologize? No of course not

I won't apologize, but I'll admit I was wrong.

I feel strongly that the Dion got his elbow up and it caught Paille in the dome. They missed an easy elbowing call, and I found it too be worse in impact and intent than Ference's hit, so it should be punished accordingly. I don't care if it's not, and I don't expect anything to happen.

I will not comment on the Phaneuf hit because my stream was as bias as they get. I will make this comment though; The refs have been terrible since the first puck was dropped to start the season to even now in the post season. Much like players get punished and suspended, the fans should be able to hear when a ref crosses the line and be able to view his consequence. All and all, brutal refs.

Main board never let's anything stay up for long where Bruins as victims are concerned-I think mostly because they tend to them into Habs fans and Canucks fans discussing how dirty the Bruins are.

I do agree that it helps to discuss this stuff when there is video.

From the NESN replays it was a hit to the head and if Shanahan wants to defend it he is going to have to jump through some hoops to do so, but as long as the Toronto media pretends like it didn't happen Shanahan can pretend like it didn't happen (after all the elbow to Dougies head in the regular season was more blatant than Ference's and Shanahan didn't review it at all).

Shannahan watches every game. So even if you want to believe he wont see it, he will. In fact, he watches games in a room with what looks like 20 screens. So I highly doubt he didn't see something in a game

He would if he was watching CBC

Seriously they made practically nothing about it. They showed a replay of the incident once but it wasn't a good angle at all and it was completely in the background

If they found something bad, they'd show it. Thats all I can really say. IDK to be honest, I'm not saying its clean or dirty because quite frankly IDK. People are saying NESN feed yet all I heard was people talking about CBC which is confusing to me. Were people really watching BOTH? lol Either way, making accusations without proof is just annoying and makes people look bad

It was an elbow straight to the face. That's not an accusation it's a fact. It is what it is. Not the end of the world but certainly not less of a headshot than Ference's.
